You know, I work so much that I sometimes forget some of the great TV that we have been treated to this year. I don’t watch a lot of shows, but I want to comment on some of my favorites.

Monday

24 – Keifer Southerland is just a genious of an actor. The way he can show such pitiful angst one second and be torturing somebody the next is just amazing. This season of 24 has been off the charts with excitement. I will miss this show one day when it has finally finished its run.

2 1/2 Men – The funniest show to hit TV since I can’t remember. Charlie Sheen is just brilliant. The whole cast is priceless. The jokes are the funniest I’ve ever heard and the interaction between Sheen and Cryer is something you don’t to see very often.

Tuesday

Boston Legal – This is the most amazing cast on TV. The characters are quirky for sure, but David E Kelley’s writing makes this show the best written show on TV. I never miss an episode.

Wednesday

Lost – This show never ceases to amaze me. Just when I thought they couldn’t surprise me anymore. This is another show I will miss when we finally rescue these poor souls.

Thursday

Shark – James Woods should win an Emmy for his portrayal in this very well done show. Granted, he IS the show, but with an actor as great as Woods, you don’t need much more.

Friday

Numbers – Numbers is for smart people. I consider myself a smart person, though I can’t follow half of Charlie Epps’ math.

Sunday

Desparate Housewives – Funny how you can love a show so much when you really don’t like any of the characters. These women all need to get a life. And yet, I can’t get enough of this craziness. Granted, Mary Alice’s narration is a big part of it. I sometimes just wait to hear what she has to say.

I also watch Smallville sometimes, but honestly, that show needs to come to an end. They’ve messed with history so much that it’s not even recognizable anymore. Sadly, this used to be one of my favorite shows. Too much has been changed and it’s just not that much fun anymore.

Anyway, that’s about it. That’s my TV life. Other than those shows, I spend most of my time listening to showtunes on Music Choice, channel 437.

I remember a time when there was so much great TV on that it was all I did.

But that was a long time ago.

Sincerely,

Steve Wagenheim
